Golden Retriever x Staffy Training

"I was really impressed with Natalie's knowledge and experience when she visited our 3 resident dogs at home this morning to advise on the management of a really difficult situation in which one dog is attacking another, with me injured as well, and literally thousands spent on vet bills. The situation has been exacerbated by recent stressors such as moving house and inadequate room, and Natalie gave some important guidance and insights to manage the situation, including where it is likely to go from here (high risk of serious injuries to dogs and humans or a death, which I totally see happening) and what we can do to control and manage the dogs, as I do not wish to euthanise or re-home the stressed-out, attacking dog without trying to work on this. She advised on strategies, equipment and training that will all actually work because it was personalised and done with the doggers present, displaying all their wonderful behaviours. The visit was much better than a phone consult could ever be because Natalie was able to review the house, property and dog pen and suggest points for barriers and ways to provide time out and decompression, including specific types of play to encourage calmness and focus. She also noted behaviours that we didn't see and explained what they meant and what was going on, and how we needed to manage and distract from them. Am really happy with Natalie's services, it was money well spent - but I rather wish I'd sought help for this some time ago before it all escalated to a crisis of serious proportions. I hope that with Natalie's insights, notes and support materials we will be able to develop into a manageable, moderately tolerant 3-dog household. Thank you so much Natalie."

"Our experience with Natalie was great. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful approach to dog training. We learnt so much in our 90 minutes and have already seen a huge change in our dog. Highly recommend her services!"

"We have been using Natalie for the past few months to help train our Groodle pup Willow. Natalie is fantastic with very practical and easy to implement tips and tricks. Great value for money and really lovely lady. Willow loves it when Natalie walks in the door and we always leave with small steps to work on between sessions to improve her behaviour in increments (including jumping, barking and bailing up the cat). The improvements to Willows behaviour have been significant. Natalie comes to you for one on one training, which achieves much more in short space than puppy training did for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services."
